How our hog roast for events works in Lucas Green
Shows and festivals last all day, and a hog roast can serve through the day. For festivals and charity fundraisers, we can cook apple sauce, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage for your visitors.
A fête near Lucas Green might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook. For an autumn event in Lucas Green, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

It suits all ages.
However big or small the event in Lucas Green, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. Bookings often include:
- Fun runs and sports events
- Car and steam shows
- Town and village days
- Horse and dog shows

- How dietary needs are handled
- Travel and any London charges

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- A level pitch with firm ground
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
